Developed by designer and programmer Kirsty Greig Twitter Clock gathers information by using a live feed from twitter constantly downloading the most popular words in Tweets and conversations, filtering the ‘most tweeted’ word every minute to display that as a capture of that moment in time and a comment on what the world is talking about at that moment. After seeing Twitter Clock exhibited at the LCC Degree show. Towards the end of 2011 I arrange for it to be installed in the ITV Newsroom in London. What fascinated me was just how fickle the Twitter community is, and also how closely TV, News, Sport and celebrity affect the responses. During this time it captured some of the biggest news stories of the year including the capture of Ghaddaffi and the conviction of Dr Conrad Murray.
